This recipe was slightly modified from Paula Deen's Hawaiian Chicken Salad. It is yummy served with crackers or on a croissant. You can substitute fresh oranges and pineapple if you want. You can also use chicken you have cooked yourself or if you are really in a hurry, canned chicken. Enjoy!
2 cups of chunked rotisserie chicken (I like using the white meat.)
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 small shallot minced
1/2 to 3/4 cup mayo (I use light.)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 11 oz can of mandarin oranges drained
1 8 oz can of pineapple tidbits
2 cups halved seedless grapes (I like using both green and purple)
salt and pepper to taste
Mix chicken, celery, and shallot in a large bowl. Add mayo a little at a time until the mixture is well coated. Fold in almonds and fruit. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill until serving.
Sounds delicious, can't wait to try it!
